Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder is a commonly occurring, but poorly recognised developmental condition characterised by difficulties with motor functions. Danish tests of children's motor functioning, which are currently available, are outdated and only applicable up to the age of seven years old. New tools are needed to enable easy and efficient screening of motor difficulties experienced by children living in Denmark.

Material And Methods: The P300 was analyzed for Fz, Cz, and Pz electrodes in thirty-one healthy volunteers divided into two groups (volleyball athletes and non-athletes).
Objectives: Existing applications of non-invasive brain stimulation in the modulation of balance ability are focused on the primary motor cortex (M1). It is conceivable that other brain and spinal cord areas may be comparable or more promising targets in this regard. This study compares transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over (i) the M1, (ii) the cerebellum, and (iii) trans-spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) in the modulation of balance ability.

- Previous research indicates that school-based physical activity (PA) interventions could positively affect academic performance, particularly in math, but results have been inconclusive due to varying types of PA included in studies.
- The ACTIVE SCHOOL project will implement two distinct PA interventions over one school year and will utilize a randomized controlled trial to assess their impacts on the academic performance of 9-10-year-old children.
- The study aims to gather comprehensive data on various outcomes, such as academic performance, PA levels, cognitive functions, and overall student well-being, to better understand how physical activity influences educational success.
Background: Individuals with Down syndrome (DS) have impaired general motor skills compared to typically developed (TD) individuals.
Aims: To gain knowledge on how young adults with DS learn and retain new motor skills.
Methods And Procedures: A DS-group (mean age = 23.
